A New Way of Eating in the New World
The Covid-19 Pandemic has created a new reality where people question what they are and aren’t supposed to do. Isolation has become the new normal and not being able to have meaningful interactions with others is an everyday dilema. Now, returning to a kind of normality, it is unclear how to behave.
The Power of Food
Bringing people together again and healing them form the disconnection the pandemic created through a
product that incentivizes people to share the food from their plate and, at the same time, attracts others to reach out and try.
Concept - Sharing a Taste
Have you ever gone out to dinner and everyone orders their own plate but you desperately want to try everything on the table?
This gesture not only embodies the necessity of reaching out but also the act of sharing and giving. You allow others to enter into your personal space and, by doing so, you create an invisible bond with them.
Instead of taking away from the plate and leaving the person with an incomplete dish, create an ADD-ON system that can be removable.
"Of my plate ... This is the only thing I am willing to give away". This creates a compromise from both sides.
The second Add-On gives the opportunity of taking away the plate so that you don't have to always reach out.
The third and final Add-On is made for different people sitting at the table. Each level presents a new possibility where you can choose what to give to who.
